I don't stop to think about [there being a new opportunity]. I know I have a chance to make the team. It's like proof for myself to know I can leave with the team to Chicago or go to Triple-A. It all depends on what happens in the last 15 days or so.

John Sutter
It's like in mathematics, when dummies present the proof of a formula in a hundred steps and the genius does the same thing in five. It's the exact same process [in science communication]. The dummy takes 12 pages to explain what everybody needs to know, while the great communicator does it in a page and a half.
Randy Olson

James Yonts
I just feel good for my kids. We've been on them. We've been telling them to believe. They've got to continue to believe. The definition of keeping the faith is 'belief without proof.' And we're starting to prove it. The work and effort is starting to pay off.
Marnie Dacko
Obviously, you have no other proof but your word. So I hope they are going to believe her, as they believed me.
Florence Aubenas

Robbie Fowler
It helps future-proof, to some extent, the consumer's purchase. If a unified format is developed, it will probably be supported by the player, or if one is a de facto market winner, the consumer hasn't lost out.
Josh Martin
Often times the topic of the level of authentication to create these models (of commerce) deteriorates into a presumption that there is an extreme choice to be made between true proof of personal identity and anonymity.
Art Coviello
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. That is part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure continously without resentment.
Elbert Hubbard
No system is fail-proof. Any child abuse prevention expert will attest to the same thing. No matter what you do, you are not going to have a system that will be 100 percent effective.
Michael Kaufman

Stephen Read

Doug Hudgins
Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen.
Maimonides
The relationship between these parties is at the very best tumultuous. … You will see that the proof in this case, as far as reaching an unreasonable doubt, is not even close.
Bart Adams

Katy Jones
No sadder proof can be given by man of his own littleness than disbelief in great men.
Thomas Carlyle
Women are cursed and men are the proof.

The best proof of love is trust.
Dr. Joyce Brothers

It is proof positive of media consolidation run amok when one owner can use the public airwaves to blanket the country with its political ideology -- whether liberal or conservative.
Michael Copps
What we saw 20 years ago was really technical enthusiasts, and people creating proof of concept viruses. For the first seven or eight years that was really who made these things.
Sal Viveros
The pattern is oft-repeated: One or more parents suspect drug use, the children are vehement in their denial. Proof Positive allows parents to discover the truth before a direct confrontation.
Jim Mulvaney
One of the most striking findings was how it affected function in the area of the brain that creates everyday working memory. We may not have conclusive proof. But the evidence is strong. And these are all healthy choices for other reasons.
Gary Small

Frederick Crews
If you wait for the proof that demand is improving you'll be left behind, ... The markets are anticipating that the economy is not only recovering but improving. Techs have been leading the way and we expect that to continue.
Robert Straus
We can file this aggressive motion because we have proof that the spying program is illegal. The bottom line is the defendants have incriminated themselves -- President Bush admitted that he authorized and oversaw an illegal and unconstitutional program.
Shayana Kadidal

Clay Dover
We certainly believe all students should have a computer or easy access [to one], but we don't think this plan has been well thought out. We haven't seen proof that all students actually need their own computers.

Peter Schultz
This is identification at the polls, not proof of citizenship.
Karen Osborne
There is no bullet-proof vest in my size.
Ariel Sharon
We wanted proof ourselves that our son wasn't on any kind of drugs. And, if he was, we wanted to take the next step to try and get him some help.
Chris Oliver
Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary.
Julius Rosenwald
We were, overall, pretty pleased with what we saw. The proof will be if in one or two year's time, we see the numbers start to go down. Because the numbers have never gone down, they've always gone up.
Josh Levinson
That's more than the type-setting, copy editing and proof reading cost combined - and it's just not viable.
Morgan Entrekin

Dick Marty
There's an opportunity to future-proof their end-user networks.
Allen Powell
If they really had proof of the allegations, they would be in the indictment.

Michael Novak
If we get concrete proof someone set out (to defraud), then we will pursue them.
David Alexander

Christine Mockert
The market was, and still is, waiting for proof that he won't change policy.
Miriam Tavares
God is a challenge because there is no proof of his existence and therefore the search must continue.
Donald Knuth
I think that accepting things on faith without any proof can be cool, but it can also lead to damage. Sometimes religion can be a crutch, and sometimes it can help people. As the Bible says, 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' If the results are good, fine. But if a religion results in people getting hurt, I have a problem with it.
Daniel Roselle
The thing that hung us up was we could not provide documented proof. Their (Union Pacific) perspective was it really wasn't that serious of an issue.
Raylene Ireland
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. We believe we have that proof.
Xiaodong Song
I actually believe that I am proof positive that the current policy of training the Iraqi army -- of recruiting, training and buddying them worked -- because it was the Iraqis that got me out.
Douglas Wood
Follow-up is vital, ... The proof of the pudding will be in the cooking and the eating.
Paul Kennedy
It just shows, the Yankees, their payroll and all their All-Stars, they're not bullet proof. Between the lines, nine on nine, it shows that with your bullpen and your bench, you can win.
Jonny Gomes
Gnutella was once seen as dead so may be off the radar ... It's proof that legal pressure from industry groups results in the mass migration of file sharers to an alternative network, whether old or new. This cat and mouse game will continue.
Andrew Parker
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Kahlil Gibran
We are in limbo. What happens next? Until they make the new city the government must give us earthquake-proof shelters so we can live there for a few years.
Abdul Waheed
Without question, we will ask for the return of all pieces acquired on the black market. When the proof is certain, we will demand it. We are already imposing huge pressure. And not only on the Getty.
Rocco Buttiglione
The burden of proof is on the taxpayer. So, it's up to you to provide records of things you say you've bought, or things along those lines.
Michael Gutter
The [Mac] operating system developers have also made errors. Over the past few weeks, we've seen two proof of concept worms for OS X, and these clearly illustrate errors in the system architecture.

Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
Michael Crichton
Juniper's participation underscores their culture of participating in proof-of-concept for emerging communications technologies.
Duane Sword
If you do not have those receipts I would certainly take pictures of those things you made improvements. And to the best you can, try to get those receipts or look for old checks, or however you may have paid, just to have that proof of record.
David Sands
It is a great pity we had only one bottle not enough to revive that proof of the afterlife, though enough to revive some gentle regrets .
Roger Scruton
It could play to the image of a president who is overreaching and not succeeding -- going to war without a clear purpose or credible proof in retrospect, isolating America, wiretapping.
Doug Schoen
'Sunrise' was one of the last silent films. And as such is proof of why so many filmmakers lamented the coming of sound. It is a lovely and very powerful motion picture of love and the power of fidelity in marriage.
James D'arc
There are definitely high expectations of him, he is saying the right thing, trying to please everybody. But the proof is in the pudding.
Jason Rogers
War is a beastly business, it is true, but one proof we are human is our ability to learn, even from it, how better to exist.
M. F. K. Fisher
Right now we have a proof of concept for that particular vulnerability. The vulnerability can be exploited.
Justine Aitel
The proof of evolution lies in those adaptations that arise from improbable foundations.
Stephen Jay Gould
Love is indescribable and unconditional. I could tell you things that it is not, but not one that it is. Either you have it or you haven't; there's not proof of it.
Duke Ellington
This week's data is proof that the hawks in the Monetary Policy Committee are wrong, giving gilts support this week.
Stuart Thomson
He said what he said because he thought he was providing the government with what they wanted to hear. The evidence will show that the government will not and cannot show any proof that he attended.
Wazhma Mojaddidi
This man's life became a nightmare. He is a man with no prior criminal history, yet a man locked up in a case where there is no proof Ms. March is even deceased a case where certainly there is no proof that Perry March is responsible.
William Massey
I'm not going to prove the system works, because the proof of the fact the system didn't work is the fact that he was charged.
Ward Churchill
We haven't seen any proof.
Fraser Engerman
The burden of proof is on them.
Marieke Wierda
We retain a healthy degree of skepticism that all will not be well on Feb. 15. The state of Vermont has to come up with a fail-proof plan.
Michael Sirotkin
For a long time, the Germans held the deutsche mark as a proof of normality, something that held them together.
Hubertus Pellengahr
Now they have no excuse for letting up ? ever. This is why I was so frustrated at the beginning of the season, because I knew we were capable of playing at a certain level. That we were able to play it with Artem out is proof we should have been doing it all along.
Mariaelena Bellinger
At this point, we don't know if it's one person in particular or more than one. We don't have proof of anything. We can only wait for the outcome of the investigation.
Lowell Johnson
If you believe the victim, then you can have proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Laurie Levenson
He is proof that miracles do happen.
Mark Deaugustino

Nick Sullivan
PROOF-READER, n. A malefactor who atones for making your writing nonsense by permitting the compositor to make it unintelligible.
Ambrose Bierce
Numberless marks does man bear in his soul, that he is fallen and estranged from God; but nothing gives a greater proof thereof, than that backwardness, which every one finds within himself, to the duty of praise and thanksgiving.
George Whitefield
Jim Cameron is proof that if you are good, you'll get promoted.
Roger Corman
A dislike of death is no proof of the want of religion. The instincts of nature shrink from it, for no creature can like its own dissolution. But though death is not desired, the result of it may be, for dying to the Christian is the way to life eternal.
William Jay
The proof is in the pudding.
David Lynch
There's an allegation that he was on the farm with her in some capacity and he got incinerated, but I have no idea on why they believe that or if they have any proof.
Jeffrey Denner
Bobby Rush says on many occasions that Fred Hampton was assassinated. Where is the proof? He has yet to produce anything that validates that there was an assassination.
Sidney Davis
There is evidence of a false claim. It's not proof. But there's evidence. Based on our investigation so far, we believe there's enough to proceed.
Joann Carrin
It's hard to argue it when so many fishermen believe in it and catch more fish. Is there proof I can show you in a book? No. Is there proof I can show you in the ice chests of fishermen? Yes.
Ron Garavelli
To me, this is the ultimate proof that if you have a strong commitment to your goals and dreams, if you wake up every day with a passion to do your job or your sport, everything is possible.
Chantal Petitclerc
They were freed because there is no proof that they committed crimes against humanity.
Busho Ibrahim Ali

Riyad Dawoodi
This (injury) is proof he was standing up when he was hit and that the vehicle was coming from the right.
Dean Hawley
Do you have any direct proof that Ms. March, Janet March, is dead?
William Massey
Since day one, since kindergarten, she's been sick with allergies, asthma, coughs, you name it. She's had it. It's the mold. I have proof. I have five, six years of proof.
Angie Johnson
This is proof that Indonesia is a good place to invest in and speaking frankly it means that dollars are coming in.
Aburizal Bakrie
Packet logs and the video together are overwhelming proof.
Ben Edelman

Barry Smith
Proof like this would make a prima facie case of systemic discrimination.
David Baldus
This is proof positive that in fact the sand is moving at present.
Peter Thomas
They did that experiment in France, but there's never any proof that Franklin did it here. But I like the story.
Sally Sondesky
Here's your proof they don't. (Tornadoes) can form quickly and go down to the ground, no matter where you are.
Steve Nelson
It's further proof of traditional media reaching beyond the living room. The mobile device world will only become more prolific.
Sean Badding

Judd Nelson
[Hope Davis, who appears in his new film,] Proof ... Hello? 'Shakespeare in Love'?

We've heard all of the proof they put on. We have lots of stuff we didn't use because we were right in the middle of it.
Peter Ostermiller
I use digital for a proof machine instead of Polaroid, so it has a place in the industry.
Bill Groethe
This is an explicit one-to-one marketing solution with two-way communication, proof of engagement, a chance for viewer opt-ins, even direct sales. The advertiser is now the good guy instead of the misunderstood or unwanted interloper.
Paul Grusche
I was garbage, ... I lived to work out that whole offseason (between the 2003 and 2004 seasons). I worked harder than I've ever worked in my life. They say hard work pays off. I guess I'm proof.
Charles Davis
She wanted proof why a Mac would be better than the Dell I already had.
Ball State
This is an idea that came to me when I was a child, and now has become a reality. I know it works and I have the proof.
Freddy Mella
The bottom line is, we simply can't know yet; we don't have the conclusive proof.
Jerome A. Jackson
Our investigation into the death of Proof continues. There can't be any conclusions about anything until that investigation is completed.
Maria Miller
There may have been people who stumbled upon it when fishing or diving and rode a wave or two, but there is no concrete proof of it.

Michael Rose
The proof of the pudding is that the Ford Explorer has seen virtually no decline in August.
David Bradley
They didn't show us any proof. They kept telling us they did this or that, and we told them that's not good enough. We can't just go on your word.
Johnny Davis
Proof that the genocide standard cannot be met.
Dan Burton
This is proof that we are committed to reconciling aboriginal rights in Canada, ... We aren't stuck in the past, we are prepared to evolve.
Jane Stewart
Proof of concepts are out there but end users have not been affected by exploits in the wild the way they typically are with some other platforms. It's never good to say don't be concerned about security, however, the actual effects on users of our platform are minimal.
